The Judge Is Like The Owl

By Emily Dickinson

The Judge is like the Owl –
I’ve heard my Father tell –
And Owls do build in Oaks –
So here’s a Amber Sill –

That slanted in my Path –
When going to the Barn –
And if it serve You for a
House –
Itself is not in vain –
About the price – ’tis small –
I only ask a Tune
At Midnight – Let the Owl
select
His favorite Refrain –
